El “experimento de la cara inexpresiva», desarrollado por el Dr. Ed Tronick en los años setenta, pide a los cuidadores que mantengan interacciones receptivas normales, luego dejen de responder (pongan «cara inexpresiva») durante unos minutos y luego vuelvan a sus interacciones receptivas normales con el niño. Durante el periodo en que el cuidador no responde, el niño intenta llamar la atención del cuidador y, al no conseguirlo, empieza a mostrar signos de malestar físico y emocional. Cuando el cuidador vuelve a responder, se restablece la conexión entre él y el niño. El experimento demuestra hasta qué punto los bebés dependen de las respuestas de sus cuidadores para sentirse seguros, confiar en las personas de su vida y explorar el mundo.Read More →

“The still face experiment” developed by Dr. Ed Tronick in the 1970s asks caregivers to engage in normal responsive interactions, then become unresponsive (put on a “still face”) for a few minutes, and then return to their normal repsonsive interactions with the child. During the period when the caregiver is unresponsive, the child tries to get the caregiver’s attention and then failing to do so begins to show signs of physical and emotional distress. When the caregiver becomes responsive again we see the connection between the caregiver and child restored. The experiment shows how much babies depend on their caregivers’ responses to help them feel safe, trust the people in their life, and explore the world.Read More →
